I wonder if by "meditate" we can extend that into the more general sense of meditative awareness...as meditation can mean different things to different people.  And oftentimes I find that "formal meditation", taken out of context, just setting a time aside for it, is not working for me, but if something pulls me towards it, an experience of beauty for example, I can be in "meditation" and therefore, I can, even if for a little while, escape the walls of the valley and open up my perspective.  Just thinking aloud ..

Thank you for thinking aloud, Caroline S !
